Alexis is not much of a desert kind of kid. It's just not her thing, which is fine by me because I totally steal her share of dessert every chance I get. When she randomly requested a strawberry-filled pastry thing at the Farmer's Market on Friday, I practically tripped in a puddle of my own slobber. I expected a one bite and pass moment, just like I get a few times per week.

Alexis decided the first bite should be a big one.

A REAL big one. After that REAL big bite, she thought for a second.

And promptly FAILED ME.

Damn kid liked the thing. A lot. Obviously. Just moments after that photo of a ridiculously happy kid was taken, I tried to steal a bite of the thing. There are no photos of Alexis' reaction to my attempt at stealing a bite because you kinda have to have a head to look through the viewfinder of the camera. Mine got bitten off.

(Chuckling) That last picture hit it home. Pure enjoyment, pure evil mischief. Let's see how may I torture Mom today? What will make her dance?Thanks for the smile! I'm almost betting you're still wondering what the damn thing taste like. (Hugs)Indigo

Well I can't blame her! I'd scarf that sucker down and I'm getting less and less appreciative of desserts (and what they do to my waistline *G*). I'd bite off the head of anyone that tried to take a strawberry dessert from me!

Love those shots. Dang, too bad she wouldn't share. Of course it happened when you didn't have cash for more. I went to farmer's market yesterday and all they had was eggs (already had a fridge full) honey, (ditto) and some onions and lettuce. It was disappointing. I came home and made ice cream with maracuja (which my husband can't pronounce so he calls it maricona' :) I'd send you some but it would melt.

Ha ha ha - I love the last shot! It totally says, "Booh-ya, Mom. I tricked you! I sucked you into my elaborate 3-years-in-the-making ploy, only to trip you up now! Because I have secretly enjoyed desserts all this time, biding my time for when best to fool you." She's very expressive. :) (And adorable.)
